No Impact Man Experiment: Day 6

Friday: Water

When I washed my face and brushed my teeth on Friday morning, I made sure to only turn the sink faucet on when necessary. That was not difficult for me, as I generally keep water conservation in mind when using the sink. However, practicing water conservationism while flushing the toilet was undeniably a more difficult task. It is shocking to think how much water each of us uses on a daily basis to flush the toilet! Perhaps Brown’s idea of more widespread use of the composting toilet really is a good idea, as these toilets are virtually waterless and odorless! Furthermore, I took a quicker shower on Friday than I usually do and I am most certainly going to try to continue on that path even after this experiment is over!
